Cucumber Coolers

In this steamy weather, I'm craving cold, refreshing drinks. Smoothies are a mainstay of our lunch menu, and these cucumber coolers were super hydrating. We've been getting a lot of cucumbers from our CSA, and while I like salads and pickles as much as the next girl, it's good to change it up. Plus, a certain 3yo I know claims not to like cucumbers. His younger brother, on the other hand, will eat anything he can get his hands on- food or not. I'm happy to say both of them happily drank these.

The blueberries were also fresh from Tangerini's Farm. I dragged the kids out to pick in the 90 degree heat one afternoon last week. The aisle we walked down was next to an anti-bird machine which periodically screeched to deter birds from eating the berries. A relaxing sound. Colin's basket was perpetually empty, and I had to supply James with a steady stream of berries, but we came home with a few pints and have been enjoying them all week.
